"A Thousand Years" lyrics

If I had a thousand years
I would spend them writing songs
And every song would say 'I Love You'
If we have just one more day
To walk together holding hands
I'd let every touch convey 'I Love You'

Even though human love ends
Like unspooling threads
That's why it's precious
So don't let this day hurry past
Each moment can last
When we go slow

If I had a million words
I would choose and use the best
And every one would say 'I love you'
If we had another spring
I would spend it by your side
I'd let the flowers and the birdsong say 'I love you'

Even though human love ends
Faith comprehends
Love is eternal
God gives each marriage a glimpse
We share in the gift
Of love's unveiling

I love you, I love you
I love you, I love you

If I had a hundred years
Or even just a minute more
My every breath would say 'I love you'
I'd let everything convey 'I love you'
